Ingredients

1½ cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
12 oz milk chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate) for coating

1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate shell)

How to Make Frozen Chocolate Mousse Bars

Step 1: Whip the Mousse

In a large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken.
Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
Continue whipping until light and fluffy (soft peaks).

Step 2: Fill the Molds

Spoon the mousse into silicone bar molds (or a parchment-lined loaf pan).
Smooth the tops.
Freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight, until solid.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt milk chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Step 4: Dip the Bars

Pop the frozen mousse bars out of the molds.
Quickly dip each bar into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze again until set.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Keep bars frozen until ready to serve. Enjoy straight from the freezer for the best texture!

Tips for Perfect Mousse Bars

✅ Use silicone molds for easy release.
✅ Add a pinch of espresso powder to the mousse for deeper chocolate flavor.
✅ Use dark chocolate for a richer coating.

Variations

Swap vanilla for mint or orange extract.
Add crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Use white chocolate for a twist!
